Satellite Server traffic v Primary Server traffic

I recently did a packet trace on a workstation and noticed a lot of traffice going to the primary servers and not just the satellite server.
I have a 10.3.3 environment with Windows 2003 servers and Full SQL 2005. A Windows XP workstation as a satellite server. That satellite server has Content, Authentication and Collection configures. It also has a Closest Server Rule set to a CIDR /16 IP address.
I am not sure why, but the workstation seems to hit the primary server first and even another primary server second. Then during login it does seem to hit the satellite server a bit but it hits the primary server just as much and like I said earlier it seems to hit another primary server that isn't configured for that site. I do have content on all Primary servers so I understand it hitting these servers some, but during authentication and during content retrieval I am confused at why it wouldn't be smacking the satellite server to no end and not the primary servers.
I need to make sure I have satellite servers and primary server configured correctly due to connection issues. Please, any help on configuration would be appreciated. Thanks.

CAS server deployment -- Additional Primary server deployment with same site code

Hi,
I have an primary site server deployed at one of the location on windows server 2008 R2 with SCCM 2012 R2.
I need to have an additional primary server at same site with OS of windows server 2012 R2 with SCCM 2012 R2.
I would need help in how to achieve this.
If I deploy this will my all endpoints will get an information of new Primary server at same site.
Regards,
Deepak Sharma

To add-on, based on the title of the post, do I understand it correctly that you want to deploy that second primary site in the same hierarchy with the same site code as an existing primary site? If so, that's a huge no-go. Never use the same site code
twice in the same hierarchy...

CM2012 secondary server to primary server database sync

Hi friends,
I want to measure the secondary server database to primary server database traffic? How often it gets replicated and how to measure what exactly is getting replicated.
Background work done:
I did measure using perfmon and found that sec server to primary is ~900MB/hr
I did look at the sp and tables for global_proxy tables and the data is getting replicated from primary to secondary.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Torsten Thalnk you, we are seeing very abnormal traffic between our secondary ( in which ~4000 clients are reporting) to primary server database(again primary server db in remote, individual box and not with SMS provider). I am trying to find which
table/file replication is behind the very high traffic. Any lead will be great help. P.s : it is not the file replication issue since file replication from secondary server going to primary server SMS provider box. also, I am planning to look SQL perspective
and trying to find out SQL replication and broker service point of view the replication data. Basically, I need to find out exact data - files or tables or ? And their sizes. So I will know if our updates scan cycles/hardware inventory/CI/state messages or
some other thing is aggressive which can be tuned to reduce this traffic which is impacting WAN link Thank you in advance

SCUP2011 Installation & Configuration in a hierarchy having 1 CAS+4 Primary Server

Hi,
We have a SCCM Environment having 1 CAS server with 4 Primary Server. For third party update management, we have to install SCUP 2011. Now my question is what will be the best practice for installation of SCUP2011 in this environment.
Thanks
Pallavi

Basically it does not matter where SCUP is installed. Just make sure that it connects to the topmost SUP (which should be already installed on the CAS).

How to enable high availability on SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2

Dear Folks,
I would like to ask you about this thing. I'm working for IT department for bank in Myanmar. Our bank have up to 96 branches across all of Myanmar including H.O. We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 for our banking
information system. My main problem is having to backup and restore the database backup files every time the servers in branches goes down for whatever reasons. I want to deploy this feature of high availability and failover cluster using Windows Server 2008
and SQL Server 2005. Our branches have 2 Servers. One is for Primary and other is for Backup. What I want to do is that, I want to change Backup Server to Primary Server whenever the Primary Server goes down for whatever reasons. All the working data and databases
from Primary will immediately replicated into Backup Server along with all the IP information of Primary Server. Please give me step by step guide for this process.

Try below
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cindygross/archive/2009/10/23/checklist-for-installing-sql-server-2005-as-a-clustered-instance.aspx
I will recommend you to upgrade SQL server to newer version for support as well as flexibility.

Can OS X Server 10.6 reverse proxy be setup to route port traffic 5003 (FileMaker Server) to 2 seperate servers (FM 11 and FM 12)?

Can OS X Server 10.6 reverse proxy be setup to route port traffic 5003 (FileMaker Server) to 2 seperate servers (FM 11 and FM 12)?

In your scenario, how is the 'OS X 10.6 Server' supposed to identify which FM machine to proxy the connection to?
The FM client uses a proprietary protocol, so it's not something simple like HTTP. Off hand I don't know of any way the server can accept arbitrary connections on port 5003 and know which FM server to relay it to.
Two options come to mind. One is to nix the OS 10.6 Server altogether - I don't understand this machine's purpose in your network - the second is to setup different ports on the OS X 10.6 Server machine and map each port to a different FM server, e.g. 5003 -> FM11, 5004 -> FM12, then you configure the remote client to connect to a different port number based on the server they want to connect to. I haven't used FM client in a long time to know if this is supported on the client side, but I'm guessing it is.
Either way, using a proprietary protocol, there's no way for the proxy machine to be able to filter the traffic on any given ports.

PC not asking the alternate DNS Server after the primary is unavailable

Hello,
Our PCs are members of AD Domain and are configured to use two internal DNS servers, one as the primary and the seconde as the alternate. The two DSN server are DCs.
I've faced an odd probleme yesterday when I've restarted the Primary dns server ...The server started normaly but the DNS Server service didn't. All the PC's where unable to resolve IP addresses! When I looked closely I found the it was a dns issue, the PCs
were not asking to resolve name using the alternate dns server.
Is there a specific configuration to setup on the client PCs to overcome this issue

Communication between the primary server the gateway server

hallo
Can I set the directional communication between the primary server the gateway server, so it feels by the following example?
And if so how?
Agent

*Agent communicates with GW1 and reported it
*GW SEND report to GW2
*GW2 Send the the data to MS

Hi,
As far as I know, Gateways dont talk to each other. Why you need two GW, with one GW and report to your management servers, this way should work.

Upgraded ZENworks Primary Server Will Not Refresh

Good Afternoon,
I recently upgraded our primary server from ZENworks 11.2-11.3a.
The upgrade procedure completed with no errors. However, the server will not refresh it's status in the ZENworks Control Center. Control Center continues to report the server as 11.2.0.0. The UI of the Control Center is upgraded. The agent continues to push back the next contact with server time without updating the last contact with server time
Things I have tried:
-doing a manual refresh through control center gives a "Connection Failed" error
-doing a manual refresh with zac ref completes successfully but does not update anything
-cleared the agent cache using zac cc
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much!

Script to redirect a Application to secondary server if primary server is not available in a .ini file

Hi Team,
I want to write a script in the .ini file of an excel add-in on the users windows system , where if the primary server is not available it should automatically redirect to the secondary server.
Can someone help me in this?

Hi Jrv,
As I said its an Add-in (Twuploader) in excel which uses a ini file to connect to a server. I want the addin to connect to another available server when the primary is not available. This is the ini file content below:
[TradeWeb]
Host=Server1
Port=8002
User=abcd
[Upload]
AutoMode=N
UserInt=5
[Toolbar]
Visible=Y
Row=26
Pos=1
Top=-32000
Left=-32000
Let me know how to edit this ini file so that if Server1 is unavailable it should connect server2.

Making a Primary Server a Peer

I am trying to follow the instructions from Zenworks 10 Configuration management system administration reference - to move a Primary server back to a peer.
I am rolling out a 5000+ workstation Zen 10 school district and moved one of the servers into a child role attempting to troubleshoot a different issue. When I decided to move it back, I discovered contrary to the documentation the "move" feature in server hierachy stays disabled when I select my child primary server. The instructions indicate that I would check the child primary server and use the "move" feature to set the server back up as a peer. Has anyone else seen this and found a way to move a server back into a peer relationship???

VIP still reachable even if primary server farm is down

Hi,
I want to make sure that the a VIP is not PING-able anymore when the primary server farm is down (all servers are down).
For that I have the following configuration :
serverfarm host NCL_FARM_TEST
probe NCL_PROBE_HTTP
rserver CHPAUN028 443
inservice
policy-map type loadbalance http first-match L7_POLICY_NCL_TEST_HTTP

loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance policy L7_POLICY_NCL_TEST_HTTP
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active primary-inservice
nat dynamic 2 vlan 115
appl-parameter http advanced-options NCL_HTTP_PARAM
While testing this feature, I realize that the VIP is still reachable (PING), even if the server in the farm is in PROBE_FAILED status (For test, I have only one srserver in the farm).
Here is the server farm status, while PING is still possible :
CH01AC03/P-115-A# sh serverfarm NCL_FARM_TEST detail

In the documentation, the following is written regarding the command "vip loadbalance icmp-reply active primary-inservice" it is stated that the ACE shold discard ping packets if all servers in the primary server farm are down.
I probably missed something, but what ?

Gilles,
I have effectively four diferent policy maps :
- one for PROD when the client arrives withh HTTP
- one for PROD when the client arrives with HTTPS
- one for TEST when the client arrives with HTTP
one for TEST when the client arrives with HTTPS
However, the PROD and the TEST environemnts use different server farms. I am testing the icmp-reply feature on the TEST environment. In the TEST environment, both Layer-7 policy maps use the same server farm.
Here are the four polici maps :

ZCM 11.2 new primary server - How do I

Hi,
We currently have a ZCM 11.2 install sitting on a Windows Server 2003 32bit. I have a new server running Windows 2008 64bit which I want to move the ZCM install to. I have looked at the various disaster recover scenarios as provided by novells documentation 11.2 disaster recovery reference but dont see in "replacing the primary server with a secondary server" a supported option of going from Windows server 2003 32bit to Windows server 2008 64bit.
I see this is supported in the replacing primary with a new server (eg same IP etc) but this is not the scenario I wish to follow.
Is my direction to simply install another copy of 11.2 as a secondary primary? on my 2008 64bit, go into existing management zone, follow the directions in the above reference doc in section 2.1.
I am wondering though with the secondary primary (2008 64bit) how do I go about moving the internal sybase from the old primary across to the new secondary. It has a reference to how to move the internal to and external sybase but I want the secondary primary (which will be the new primary) to have an internal sybase database like the old primary.
Any help appreciated.

Yes, that would Be ideal as it was / is my primary DSFW onsite & DNS. So the new ZCM Box would have a different name & IP.
My thought was bring up a Second Primary in the exiting ZONE. Get it functioning / updated. (That's been an issue as well, but that will be another thread). Look at doing a DB /Content migration to the new server and shutting down the ZCM services on the old...I am sure I am missing some stuff....
What other options do we have? I am all ears....I am assuming you / we can not do the "Import/Upgrade" routine to the OVA.

If so, you will need to rename and change the IP address of one of them.
We can think through different options.

Secondary DPM server does not show "protected server group" when attempting to protect primary server

Hi Guys,
I have a bit of a weird situation with DPM 2012(pre SP1). We have a primary server which is running quite happily(protects 8 SQL servers). I'm attempting to setup a secondary. When I've done this in the past with other DPM versions(this version included)
all i have to do is this following:
Install the same version of DPM on the "secondary machine"
Attach the agent on the "primary server"
Create a new protection group for everything
The catch is that I only see the following:
I can successfully protect the database of the primary server. However the secondary server cannot see any computers protected on the primary for some reason. Any ideas why this object doesn't show at all?

Hi,
At any time, was the primary DPM Server rebuilt and it's database restored ?
Can you verify that the DPMWriter service is running.
